This is a fun recipe that I made up from a couple of other recipes. It is a tart yet sweet, soft sugar cookie! The lemonade frosting is what puts it over the top!
It is perfect for those hot summer days. Light and refreshing! And they are pretty with the yellow edible glitter!
I got this idea last year from Your Home Based Mom and I have done it several times since. It is a fun party idea and your guests will enjoy making their own Italian Soda!
We made these yesterday for our Mother’s Day get together! So fun and festive.
This recipe is a great one to make for a Mother’s Day Breakfast or Brunch, even if you have to make it for yourself, you are totally worth it!
I got this recipe from a friend and fell in love with it. It is like melted caramel and once you try it, you may never want to go back to maple syrup! I make this every once in awhile when I really want to splurge for breakfast, and then again for dessert, because the leftovers make a great caramel sauce for ice cream!
This recipe is a great copycat recipe that I have had for many years! I cannot remember where this recipe came from so I cannot give credit to anyone. But we have had it in our family for a long time. I have made these for school kids, college kids and even mailed them away in packages to missionary sons.
One of the great things about doing a blog, is that the recipes that I post will be recorded for future use! My recipe card is getting pretty hammered and is well worn, so now I will have a lot better copy of this recipe!
My husband and I have been gone on vacation for the last week or so and now it is time to come back to reality and the real life. Ugh. We had a great time in Sunny Arizona and enjoyed many fun activities like spring baseball training, shopping, sunny skies, shopping, eating out, shopping, going to the fruit stands, shopping…OK I think you get the picture! I will do a post later about some of my fun finds!
But I had a major computer disaster and ended up buying a brand new computer when we got home! It is a pain trying to re-load everything onto a new computer, but it is so fun to have a new, clean, faster computer! So now this is my first post on my new computer and it is great.
My husband and I have made this trip to AZ every year now for about 7-8 years. It is something that we both look forward to. My husband loves all the Spring Training baseball games and I love being in the warm (hot) weather so it is a great match! We have gotten so that we know the area pretty good and are learning all the road names and how to get around the Phoenix area. One of my favorite places to go every year is a big fruit market called Superstition Market. They have so many different fruits and veggies for so cheap it makes my head spin! I would totally go here every week if I lived anywhere around there! So I had to load up with all kinds of goodies to bring home. It was great!

My mother was the best bread and roll maker around when she was alive. She tried many times to teach me this talent, but I just never quite got it. My bread was either hard as a rock or so light and airy, there was no bread! After my mom passed away, I decided to take a class on bread making, because I felt like I really needed to learn this talent and felt bad that I had not learned it from my mom. One thing that I did learn was that it is important to have bread flour! My mom used to always get her flour from Canada (because that is where she was from!) but you can get it anywhere. My bread is still not as good as my mom’s, but my family loves it and I at least have the confidence to try new bread recipes! This is one that I experimented with and I liked the way that it turned out. So did my husband!
If you have any fresh rosemary you really need to try this recipe sometime. It is so yummy! My rosemary plant was getting big enough for me to trim, so I cut off several of the stems and made this bread. I love this rosemary bread, because it has some of the rosemary mixed right inside the bread and not just on the top! This would be a great bread for your Easter brunch!
I had to make a salad to take to a dinner this weekend and so I decided to try a new recipe. I saw a picture of this salad in a brochure and wanted to make it because it looked so pretty with the fresh oranges, chicken, cranberries, etc.
I saw a bag of salted caramels at a boutique in our neighborhood last weekend, but for some reason I did not buy any and then I could not seem to get them off my mind! So I came home a decided to give my hand a try at making some. I found a recipe that used sweetened condensed milk and adapted it to make these. I asked my husband to taste them and tell me what he thought. He said that there was something wrong with them and I thought he was going to say that they were salty, but he said what was wrong was that you could not eat just one! He loves them! He has made several comments since on how good they are! So that is quite the compliment!
Woot, Woot! My rss reader has had a post teaser on it that I could not seem to get removed, but it is now off! Yeah! I think that I might have actually jumped up and down and shouted for joy!
So let’s celebrate with a little chocolate!
I saw these in an ad that came in the mail and I decided to give it a try and see if I could make some on my own. I liked the results and my family loved these!
They are beautiful to look at and oh so yummy and wouldn’t these be a fun little Valentine gift for that special little someone?

One of the dishes that my daughter made for our Super Bowl meal was Bruschetta. It tasted so good in the middle of the winter. Of course it tastes better with home grown tomatoes in the summer, but hey we’ll take what we can get! I love the tomatoes, garlic and basil flavors in this scrumptious appetizer! Doesn’t it look good enough to just eat with a spoon? (And maybe I did or did not do that!)
